XBURN --id option

[CousinItt]

Hi,

can anyone confirm that XBURN's --id option is used to select the device in a particular position in the JTAG chain?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I can't see this spelled out anywhere and I don't want to brick any boards while investigating.

Thanks.

I think, like xFlash it is used to specify an xtag3 adapter. For example, in a situation where you have more than one programmer attached to a computer. Anyway, you might try it with xFlash before using xBurn?

This is correct

OK thanks both. In my application I have five xmos devices, and I want to assign a serial number (and possibly additional hardware-specific info).

I'm assuming that I need to write the OTP for a particular tile and then access that information (e.g. using lib_otpinfo) with software on the same tile. Am I completely mistaken? If not, how do I write the serial number into the right device?

Here's some code that might be useful

Code: Select all

#include <print.h>
#include <xs1.h>
#include <platform.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#if defined(__XS3A__)
#include <otp3.h>
#define ADDR <PUT ADDRESS HERE>
#else
#include <otp.h>
#define ADDR <PUT ADDRESS HERE>
#endif

//Initialize the otp ports using the OTP_PORTS_INITIALIZER for each tile
on stdcore[0]: OTPPorts o0 = OTP_PORTS_INITIALIZER;
#if TILE_COUNT > 1
on stdcore[1]: OTPPorts o1 = OTP_PORTS_INITIALIZER;
#endif
#if TILE_COUNT > 2
on stdcore[2]: OTPPorts o2 = OTP_PORTS_INITIALIZER;
#endif
#if TILE_COUNT > 3
on stdcore[3]: OTPPorts o3 = OTP_PORTS_INITIALIZER;
#endif

//Customer specific data to be written to OTP
int prog(OTPPorts &op) 
{
    unsigned data[] = {0xbaddf00d};

    // Program the key into the OTP row; this doesn't lock the OTP
    // memory, so other rows can still be written later.
#if defined(__XS3A__)
    if (!otp_program_differential(op, ADDR, data, sizeof(data)/sizeof(data[0]))
#else
    char failmap[4];
    if (!otp_program_no_repair(op, ADDR, data, sizeof(data)/sizeof(data[0]), failmap))
#endif
    {
        printstr("Failed to program OTP memory\n");
        return 1;
    }
    printstrln("OTP memory successfully programmed\n");

    return 0;
}

//Once compiled the program can be run using...
//xrun --adapter-id <N> --io <bin_name>.xe
//and all being well otp memory shall be programmed with the above data.

int main() {
    par {
        on tile[0]: prog(o0);
#if TILE_COUNT > 1
        on tile[1]: prog(o1);
#endif
#if TILE_COUNT > 2
        on tile[2]: prog(o2);
#endif
#if TILE_COUNT > 3
        on tile[3]: prog(o3);
#endif
    }
    return 0;
}

Thanks Ross, I hadn't thought about doing it that way. So does that mean that XBURN can't select a particular device in a JTAG chain?

[Ross]

No, you need to make a program to do that at the moment AFAIK.

[CousinItt]

OK. Thanks again.
